Yet ANOTHER great review for the album. I'm lovin it... :P

Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas II You really should top everyone's gift list this Holiday season.

It's been sixteen years since Carey's beloved Merry Christmas, and still no one can spread holiday cheer as well as she can. Merry Christmas II You isn't just the perfect modern Christmas album, it's one of the year's best pop records. Kicking off with the hand-clap and bell jingle of "Oh Santa!," Carey immediately pulls everyone into her wondrous winter wonderland. Her voice soars on the hook along with a gorgeous chant that's as fun as it is fiery. It's a warm and welcoming new Christmas classic with a little modern swag thrown in alongside the sleigh and reindeer for good measure. Meanwhile, "Christmas Time Is In The Air Again" evokes the classic crooning of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin on all of those legendary Decemberific with the light flourishes of orchestra and lilting piano melodies.

Carey's take on "Charlie Brown Christmas" is especially fun as are her powerful renditions of "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem." It's on those staples that her voice truly resounds with a poetic passion that will make you want to sit by the fire with some milk and cookies waiting for Santa. Carey adds a classy elegance to the "Charlie Brown" track that hasn't been matched since Stone Temple Pilots took the song on air in early '90s. "Auld Lang Syne" breaks into a danceable beat that heats up the holidays like never before. Merry Christmas II You is the perfect present this year. You'll be dancing in the snow before you know it…

My favorite Mariah song ever was sabotaged from hitting #1?! :angry::lol:

Trey Lorenz: I love "Can't Let Go." I remember hearing it when she was first working on it and I actually got to see it just blossom into this incredible work which I think has stood the test of time. Technically, "Can't Let Go" should be Mariah's 6th consecutive #1, but Sony wanted to sell more records instead of singles - that's how it was working at that time and they pulled the single from the stores in order for people to buy the album. And the song just missed going to #1. It stalled at #2. I remember saying, "This is a #1, this is a #1." I think Sony was trying to prove a point, and keep her in line, and what not, which only made her rebel more. So...[laughs].

Mariah Carey's 'Oh Santa!' Tops Adult Contemporary

Posted by Lynn on Monday, 06-Dec-2010, 2:34PM EST

Mariah Carey's new holiday track "Oh Santa!" dashes all the way from No. 12 to No. 1 in just its second week on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, to be refreshed on Billboard.com Thursday (Dec. 9).

The coronation is the quickest by any title since the survey adopted Nielsen BDS-monitored radio airplay data in 1993. In that span, eight previous songs soared to the summit in as little as three chart weeks. (Seven of those songs were holiday-themed, as a majority of adult contemporary stations segue to yuletide fare each holiday season).

"Oh Santa!" is the lead single from Carey's second holiday album, "Merry Christmas II You," which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 20 and has sold 165,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Carey's prequel holiday set, 1994's "Merry Christmas," has totaled U.S. sales of 5.1 million. That collection's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" peaked at No. 6 on the Jan. 7, 1995, Adult Contemporary chart and has sold 1.6 million downloads. The cut additionally crowns Billboard's tally of the 100 top-selling and most-played holiday songs last year.

"Oh Santa!" had previously topped Billboard's Holiday Digital Songs list, where it debuted at No. 1 the week of Oct. 30.

The new carol is Carey's seventh Adult Contemporary chart-topper and first in more than 14 years. She reigned with her debut single "Vision of Love" and follow-up "Love Takes Time" in 1990 and again ruled with "I Don't Wanna Cry" (1991), "Can't Let Go," "I'll Be There" (1992) and "One Sweet Day," with Boyz II Men (1995-96).

Carey ends the longest gap between Adult Contemporary No. 1s since the Eagles waited 20 years between the commands of "Best of My Love" (Dec. 14, 1974) and "Love Will Keep Us Alive" (Dec. 17, 1994).
